Conclusions
The reaction of 2-ethoxycarbonylfuran with diazoacetone and methyl diazoacetate in the presence of rhodium acetate at 20°C gives bicyclic adducts of the corresponding carbenes at a furan ring double bond in 18–22% yield with the complete absence of products of opening of the furan ring (acyclic oxodienes). In analogous reactions, 2-cyanofuran gives derivatives of 5-(2-furyl)oxazoles in yields up to 55%, which are the products of the 1,3-dipolar cyclo-addition of the carbenes at the cyano group in addition to the bicyclic adducts in 12–17% yields.
